mother's day and milestones
hi everyone. sorry for the delay writing. it's been a busy week. Here's the latest: Mary's sister Leslie came to visit over Mother's Day weekend. She and Nicolas really seemed to bond - he brightened up whenever he saw or heard her, and she actually got him to follow her voice and face. We were pretty excited about it all, so Mary tried it on Sunday. We realize that something so simple may sound kind of silly, but we had a blast with it.
It's like we're finally starting to see signs of real interaction with Nicolas - he's responding to us in new ways - reacting to our voices and facial expressions, and yes, it's really really fun. Sure, we're still having a rough night now and then, but things are improving a lot (the book our friends Brian and Julie recommended - the Happiest Baby on the Block - has been a great salvation). And the more we begin to connect with him, the less we seem to mind the few bumpy nights that come along.
My parents are visiting tomorrow from Oxford, MS - it will be their first time seeing Nicolas in person, so we should have some fun pics from there visit for you soon.
